Auburn's 2013 recruiting class has lost three commitments since the dismissal of Gene Chizik and could be on the verge of losing another this weekend. Ft. Lauderdale athlete Lemond Johnson, who committed to Auburn in June, is wrapping up a two-day visit to Knoxville and according to an interview with 247Sports, Johnson might leave town committed to the Vols.

“It’s kind of a good possibility I might change my mind about going to
Auburn because I really wanted to do the mid-year thing and come in
mid-year, and they said, because of them switching coaches, I can’t come
in mid-year there,” Johnson told 247Sports.

One major factor in Johnson's potential switch to the Vols is Tennessee's recent hiring of former Auburn assistant Tommy Thigpen, who recruited Johnson for the Tigers.

“It’s a pretty good part of me coming (to Tennessee), just because we talked about once or twice a week,” Johnson said.

Johnson plans on making a final decision soon, since he wants to enroll at his school of choice in time for the spring semester.

Johnson is rated a three-star prospect according to the 247Composite rankings and is ranked the No. 30 safety prospect in the nation.
